Long pose today. Watercolor. I added some gouache to her face about half way through the day to focus on her portrait. I had considered just doing watercolor figure sketches and moving around the room for different views, but I decided to just push this one further with gouache.

My annual selfie season is late this year. I’m bad at portraits. I know it. I accept it. But every year I take some time to paint my face. I love the color variation in skin tones and the drawing is always a challenge. It’s a nice change from landscapes. acrylic on paper, 11×14”

Trump didn’t start this war alone. Republicans did too through their capitulation. They shouldn’t be off the hook for this disaster. It should be framed as the Republicans’ war.

This one has been taking up a lot of my time. I think it’s done. I hope it’s done. I don’t usually do watercolors this big. I’m anxious to get to a sloppy, fast painting now. Watercolor and gouache on Arches cold press, 12x16”

Is anyone else worried about the catastrophic sonic global shockwave caused by all the champagne corks popping at the same time around the world?

I think it’s actually a toilet under the desk and he’s not wearing any pants.

Busy week moving kids into college but managed to finish this little watercolor + gouache sketch in my sketchbook.

Nobody gives a shit about boys in girls‘ sports. What’s that, like 10 kids in the entire country?!

All the money in the Pentagon budget went to the Trump family through contractors. No consequences for failed audits. The biggest source of fraud in our government.

Unrelated to the post, did Sara say 777 billionaires have left CA and NY? Where did she get that number?

Worked on it a little more after lunch.

This is a 30 minute rebound from that last little gouache that took days. It’s like stretching a rubber band. I can only get so far in one direction before getting pulled back in the other direction. Maybe more like a pendulum? Each is satisfying in its own way. Acrylic on paper, 7x11”

Exactly! You demand a bunch of crazy stuff you know you’ll never get and then when you make concessions it looks like you’re compromising. In reality you only really wanted the fraud immunity.

How about the dads stay home and raise the kids? Or maybe even the dads stay in the picture and be fathers? Stop blaming the moms.

Oh, is the media allowed to fact check? Are you guys doing your job now? It’s been two year of just letting Trump and the republicans spout their bullshit without any pushback from the media. Why now?
